Hey,

I am building a machine with 16gb ram with 2133mhz speed. The CPU is an i5 4670K. What motherboard do I need to accommodate the ram speed and CPU? I know almost nothing about motherboards. Thanks!

PS - what cheap case would I want that supports at least 4 USB ports. I'm getting this machine from cyberpowerpc if that matters.

You could probably do it cheaper putting the parts together yourself, As for cyberpower, I took a brief look at their website a couple of weeks ago. I was under the impression you selected a build then customised it. In which case all the options they list are already compatible with each other, thats the functionality they are paid for.

Doesnt it include a case?

I have a max budget of 1k (not accounting for the cost of the OS). I'd be happy to build my own but I have no idea how or what is needed. I need to build a system with raid 0 using 2 sad drives because I primarily work on statistical analysis which uses I/o processes. Any help drtoast? Or anyone else?
